williamdunne: When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build
a castle on
a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built
a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built
a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.
assbot: Logged on 05-05-2015 19:42:05; williamdunne: Liberland might actually be
a cool option, although no-one recognizes it yet so no-one would criticize the US for raiding
a DC there, no?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: we have ~4BN for
a 40km road (maryland 200) here
lobbes: usa hasn't built
a highway since 1985 << maintenance surely
a money-pit though?
jurov: corruption scandal related to most expensive highways/km worldwide? but we're playing hockey now and must have
a new national stadium built!
ascii_field: later tonight i might do
a valgrind with 'massif' with --pages-as-heap=yes
lobbes: but, 'GDP' is dubious enough as is as
a metric
trinque: still I think there's
a lot culturally and economically in tx that's valuable
trinque: I'd like to find numbers on the agricultural situation in TX, but I know there's quite
a bit of it
trinque: and that's speaking as
a white male that never had much trouble with them
trinque: ascii_field: if the gangs were
a real problem in TX I'd expect the population to support treating it as military action instead of policework
ascii_field: the fella in the fort doesn't get beheaded, but he will notice that the face that shows up to collect the benjies is
a different color, one day, that's all.
trinque: ascii_field: I observe that there is *already*
a privileged class in TX
trinque: seems like
a prime opportunity to demonstrate the failures of "give everyone
a vote"
ascii_field: there would not necessarily be
a flag - just piles of skulls
ascii_field: there is also 'willing to butcher town at
a time to prove point'
ascii_field: trinque: put
a red flag and lenin face on it and sure, allergenic; but sell it as 'farm subsidies' and welfare-subsidized min wage slaveforce and it sells just fine
☟︎ trinque: ascii_field | american 'anti-communism' in all ages was
a cartoon idiocy << not talking about mccarthy here, but the average TX business owner

a bad currency is one of the most obvious problems

https://medium.com/@octskyward/the-capacity-cliff-586d1bf7715e - "Finally,
a brief word about my own background for those who don’t know me. I have spent the last five years implementing Bitcoin wallets, and before that I spent nearly 8 years at Google. Three of those years were spent on the Geo Team (Maps/Earth), where I was
a professional capacity planner for one of the world’s busiest websites. Just like now, capacity pl
ascii_field: american 'anti-communism' in all ages was
a cartoon idiocy
ascii_field: trinque: it also means that if you're on the throne, you gotta pander to derps to some extent - because this is implicit in ruling
a naturally-occurring herd containing both halves of the 'bell curve'
☟︎ trinque: if
a major war between the largest powers breaks out, there wont be much of
a place to sit either
trinque: ascii_field: I understand the quote to mean that militarism is good for destroying things, not for building
a place to sit, eh?
ascii_field: recall napoleon's 'can do anything you want with
a bayonet but to sit on it' ?
trinque: ascii_field: this is why I favor the idea of
a capitalist political party more than some kind of conflict
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2014 00:46:13; asciilifeform: have to understand, jet fighter is not really
a complete machine. it is
a tentacle of the larger industrial slave empire which produced and employed it.
trinque: scientology's tax exempt status is
a goddamn hilarious defeat of usg
williamdunne: ascii_field: Somehow I think Liberland will struggle to get even
a single Trident sub

a suicide
trinque: being able to wreck continents gives you
a bit of an advantage
ascii_field: somewhere not far from where i stand,
a cow in
a barn is doing well.
williamdunne: Seems to be doing well,
a lot of growth there and is well off compare to Malaysia,
williamdunne: Seems like it can only work if it gets past
a certain point
ascii_field: williamdunne et al: 'micronations' are interesting right up until you try actually using them for something (e.g., resisting usg dictate) and it gets bulldozed. so, approximately as interesting as
a pistol that is guaranteed to explode in your hand.
☟︎ ascii_field: 'In the proposed channel, the voice call throughput was entirely occupied in order to convey covert information, and it achieved
a throughput of 13 bps...' << l0l lamers
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Has Croatia bullied them yet? All I've seen is the border closed which seems sane if its
a separate country
mats: arxiv.org/pdf/1504.05647v1.pdf "
A New Covert Channel over Cellular Voice Channel"
BingoBoingo: williamdunne> Liberland might actually be
a cool option, although no-one recognizes it yet so no-one would criticize the US for raiding
a DC there, no? << Downside, no credible army makes Liberland easy to annex. Look at how easily Croatia bullies them.
williamdunne: What do you need, and is there anything I can help with. I'll happily speak to
a couple of them for you, I've made harder sells before
williamdunne: And then promptly apply
a healthy dosage of thermite to the HDDs
williamdunne: Liberland might actually be
a cool option, although no-one recognizes it yet so no-one would criticize the US for raiding

a vps ?
thestringpuller: jurov: < gavinandresen> jurov: I said I asked economists review my ‘block size economics’ post, and they did (and gave valuable feedback). It would be
a full-fledge research project to estimate the impact of
a technical change like increasing the max possible block size, I think
williamdunne: Probably for the best anyway, it they're that faggoty they'll give up the moment
a DMCA/Subpoena comes through the post

a venereal disease
williamdunne: Not
a reason I've heard before, but fair nuff'
williamdunne: From my understanding some people enjoy the thrill of doing it in public, no? Doing it in
a way that is less than obvious but still public surely would still deliver the same thrill
mircea_popescu: well if they were gonna conceal it, might as well went to
a room
mircea_popescu: "In 2004, Californians voted on Proposition 66, which would have undone the state’s three strikes law. Polls showed 74 percent of voters supported the bill, but
a zero-hour negative ad push by the California Peace Officers Association, then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and most of the law enforcement community turned public sentiment against it. The bill wound up failing by
a 53 to 47 percent margin."
mircea_popescu: bwahaha. "your honor, i'm
a diabethic. better cut the sentence in half."
mircea_popescu: In 2000, repeated non-violent thief Louis Rodriguez was sentenced to
a Third Strike life in prison sentence for stealing
a candy bar and some cheese from
a Los Angeles grocery store. After more than eight years behind bars, he died in
a prison hospital from terminal liver failure. At the end of his life, he wound up costing California taxpayers more than $100,000
a year in housing and medical expenses.
williamdunne: What about awkward eye contact during the fact? Is that
a rape?
mircea_popescu: The state will ask for jail time for Alvarez and prison time for Caballero. "We gave them
a reasonable offer, what we felt was reasonable, and they decided it wasn't something they wanted to accept responsibility for," Dafonseca said. "Despite the video, despite all the witnesses."
mircea_popescu: "Video played in the courtroom during the 1- 1/2-day-long trial showed Alvarez moving on top of Caballero in
a sexual manner" << does this actusally mean he pegged her ?
williamdunne: i.e raping
a kid looks the same as shitting in
a park
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I think the problem is that
a bunch of people are legally obligated to care, and apparently little background info is provided
mircea_popescu: used to be someone being an alleged rapist was
a big deal. these days, it just mean kid went to college and wasn't entirely autistic
davout: williamdunne: get it
a cloak
williamdunne: Possibly 15 years and becoming
a registered sex offender for sex on the beach
mircea_popescu: ascii_field to be perfectly honest, i suspect
a dark eminence over at google had something to do with it too
mircea_popescu: ascii_field shockingly enough, i suspect he actually has
a point re the culture. somehow golang has this, whereas java or ruby do not.
dhill: oh i need
a pgp key
mircea_popescu: you two seriously should tkae
a few minutes and register your keys.
dhill:

ascii_field: dhill: please say
a little re: your choice of prog. lang.
dhill: i don't think there is

williamdunne: jurov: I don't really know enough about the demographics of the high-priests of WikiPedia to say anthing too intelligent. But I'm guessing they think it has
a chance
williamdunne: jurov: Almost anyone can publish, anyone has
a large variety of interests
punkman: "retarded children" -> "Representatives from the Confederation of Âûtia,
a micronation for people on the autism spectrum, visited the [Liberland] area on 17 April 2015, but the Croatian police prevented the planting of their flag."
ascii_field writes
a good bit but mostly garbage for machine rather than words for men
assbot: Logged on 05-05-2015 15:22:21; ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: how did you find that in bitcoind?
a derpy grep through the 0.5.3 source doesn't show iconv anywhere.
assbot: Logged on 28-10-2014 19:27:57; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: strauss is
a (now very old) man who was involved with some of the '70s derpistans (actual attempts at island 'nations' by american jokers). worth reading if only for zoological purposes.
